Are you a head chef who thrives when things are happening, enjoys being in the middle of operations, and has the ability to help other people grow?
We are now looking for a head chef for Stars and Stripes in Karlskrona who wants to take clear responsibility for the kitchen and help develop both the team and the food going forward.
This is a high-tempo environment with many guests and an operation where you need to be able to hold everything together even when things are running at full speed. We are therefore not just looking for someone who is skilled at cooking, but above all a person who enjoys leading others, is present in the kitchen, and who dares to set standards when needed.
The Role
As head chef, you have overall responsibility for the daily operations of the kitchen. You are operational and work closely with your team while managing planning, quality, staffing, and budget.
A large part of the role is about leadership. You should create structure in daily work, get the team working toward the same goals, and ensure everyone knows what is expected. You need to be clear when necessary, but also be the person that staff can turn to when something needs to be solved.
You will work with, among other things:
• Daily kitchen operations and quality • Menu planning and food development • Scheduling and staffing planning • Cost control and budgets • Ordering and raw materials • Staff development and coaching • Communication between kitchen, restaurant, and management
Stars and Stripes is also a growing operation. For the right person, there is therefore an opportunity to take on a larger role in the future and be part of developing new units and parts of the business.
We are Looking for You
You have experience working as a head chef, sous chef, or in a similar leadership role and are confident in taking responsibility for a kitchen.
But above all, we are looking for the right person.
You need to be a present leader who enjoys working together with others. You should be able to step in and help when needed, but also be able to take a step back and see what the team needs to function better.
We believe you are:
• Clear and confident in your leadership • Organized and experienced at planning • Solution-oriented when the pace increases • Communicative and good at bringing others along • Interested in food, raw materials, and menu development • Comfortable with staffing, scheduling, and cost control • Unpretentious and ready to roll up your sleeves when needed
You don't need to be the loudest person in the room. However, you need to be someone people listen to.
What You Get
At Stars and Stripes, you get a central role in a high-tempo operation with many guests and great opportunities to make an impact.
You get the right conditions to move the kitchen forward, an opportunity to develop both food and work methods, and a workplace with ambitions to grow further.
For the right person, the role can also develop over time as the business grows.
What We Get
A head chef who takes responsibility, sees the people in the team, and at the same time dares to set standards.
Someone who cares about the food, but who understands that a good kitchen is built on more than just good raw materials. It's equally about structure, communication, and people working toward the same goal.
Do you recognize yourself?
Then we look forward to hearing from you!
